Silly Scotch

◎ Appearance

Copper-red hue with good clarity and a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. Moderate carbonation creates fine, steady bubbles throughout the body. The color reflects the toasted malts central to this style's character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with brioche and fresh raspberry, followed by candied fruit notes that evoke dried apricot and orange peel. Honey and caramel emerge in the mid-palate range, underpinned by roasted malt character. The aromatic profile is warming and inviting, with subtle alcohol presence that does not dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and slightly sweet, with pronounced honey and caramel balanced against gentle roasted notes. The mid-palate develops dark fruit complexity—prunes and raisins—while malt backbone remains prominent and warming. Bitterness is restrained at 20 IBU, allowing the malt and fruit to lead throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with lingering prune and roasted malt, drying slightly toward the end. Overall impression is rich and almost liqueur-like, with warming alcohol providing a sustained, smooth conclusion.
